LIQUID FILTER AND DISPENSER.

cold, and the invention consists of the novel features herein shown,described and claimed.

The accompanying drawings illustrate the invention.

Figure 1 is a firagmental, sectional View illustrating the servingdevice. Fig. 2 is a section of the same on line w -ac Figs. 1 and 3.Fig. 3 is a fragmental plan of the device shown in Figs. 1 and 2. Fig. 4is a fragmental sectional elevation of the invention embodied in anotherform. Fig. 1 shows the apparatus as the same may be installed in use ata bar, connection being made to supply a siphon-bottle with filtered andcooled water under pressure.

In a general way, 1 designates a filter receptacle; 2 a dispensingreceptacle to serve as a heater; and 3 a second dispensing receptacle toserve as a cooler. Said receptacles are connected by the divided filterdischarge 4.

5 is a service pipe leading to the filter.

6 is a valved pipe for leading the filtered fluid to a distance from thedivided discharge 4. The filter core 8 surrounds the filter outlet 9that connects with the divided discharge 4 to supply filtered fluid forthe heating and cooling pipes 10 and 11 respectively, for the pipe 6.

13 is a burner for heating the pipe coil 10 in the dispensing receptacle2; 14 is a shell of the second dispensing receptacle 3, which is adaptedto hold ice or other cooling me dium to cool the liquid as it passesthrough the second dispensing receptacle.

16 is a portable siphon-bottle with a permanent supply through aflexible tube 17 that is connected through second dispensing receptacle3 with the outlet 9 of the filter, so as to supply the siphon bottlewith cold filtered water.

The filter-shell comprises the base a, cylinder 19 inserted downwardlyinto the flange 1) extending upwardly from the base, the

cap 0 closing the upper end of the cylinder 19 the tee (Z screwed intothe central opening c in the base a, the tube 9 inserted downwardlythrough the large opening in the tee cl and screw-seated into the loweropening so as to leave a passage from the side opening of the teeupwardly into the cylinder 19, and there being perforations f in theupper part of the tube; and the capped nut 9 upon the upper end of thepipe and holding the cap 0 in place.

The divided discharge 4 is in the form of a cross, the tube 9 is screweddownwardly through the lower end of the tee d far enough to form anipple h, and the cross 4 is screwed upon the nipple and jammed againstthe tee. The service valves 20 and 21 are screwed into the horizontalopenings in the cross 4, a nipple 6 is screwed into the lower opening inthe cross, and the valve 22 is screwed upon the nipple, and aservicepipe 2' is screwed into the valve 22 and may lead to any desiredlocation. The branches 23 and 24 are elbows extending upwardly from theouter ends of the valves 20 and 21. Stand-pipes and 7c are screweddownwardly through the bases m and n of the heater and coolerrespectively, and into the elbows 23 and 24. The heating coil 10 isconnected to the upper end of the stand-pipe j, and the cooling coil 11is connected to the upper end of the stand-pipe 7c, the standpipes beingwithin the coils and the flow from the stand-pipes being downwardlythrough the coils. The supply pipe 5 is connected to the side opening ofthe tee d. A horizontal tee may be substituted for the cross 4, and thenipple 65, valve 22 and service-pipe 2' omitted.

In practical use, the inlet 5 may be connected with a water-main so thatthe water under pressure of the water supply will enter the filter 1,will pass through the filterbody 8 into the perforated tube 7, 9, andthence to the divided discharge 4, whence it will pass in one or anotherdirection as may be determined by opening or closing the service valves20, 21, 22, of the branches 23, 24, and 6 of the divided discharge.

In the drawings, the proportions of parts are not preserved throughout,and it is to be understood that they may be changed without departingfrom the spirit of the in vention.

I claim 1. In a liquid filter and dispenser, the

combination'ofa filter base, a flange extending upwardly from the base,a shell inserted downwardly into the flange, a cap closing the upper endof the shell,atee screwed into the base, the upper end of the tee beinglarger than the lower end and the lower end being tapped from theinside; a pipe inserted downwardly into the tee and screw-seated in thelower end and extending through the lower end, the upper part of saidpipe being perforated andthe upper end of the pipe extending through thecap; a capped nut upon the upper end of the pipe holding the cap inplace; a dispensing receptacle, a stand-pipe i screwed to the bottom ofthe dispensing receptacle and connected to the lower end of the tee, anda coil'in the dispensing receptacle connected to the upper end of thestand-pipe.

2. The combination of a filter receptacle,

7 'a tee extending downwardly from the receptacle, the lower end of thetee being smaller than the upperend; afilter pipe extending downwardlyfrom the receptacle through the upper end of the tee and screw-seatedinithe lower end of the tee, a dispensing re- I 'ceptacle, a stand-pipescrewed downwardly through the bottom of the dispensing receptacle andconnected to the lower end of the vided with perforations inside saidbody,

the tube being imperforate outside said body, a tee connected with thebase and communicating with said opening, a fitting below the tee, saidperforated tube communicating with the fitting, a service pipecommunicating through the tee and said central opening, with theinterior of the shell outside thefilter-body, a dispensing rece tacle, acoil inthe dispensing receptac e, means connecting the coil'with thetube, and a valve to control the flow of liquid through the coil.

In testimony whereof, I have hereunto set my hand at Los Angeles,California this 26th day of March 1906.
